* Please note that when you buy a vintage product, the dimensions may vary slightly from a new one depending on previous care and storage.
Q: Are these Tiffany & Co 18kt Gold Ribbon Earrings authentic? A: Yes. Every item at A Retro Tale is rigorously vetted by our in‑house experts and sold with our authenticity commitment. Shop with confidence.
Q: What are they made of? Is the gold solid and are there any gemstones? A: This pair is crafted in solid 18K yellow gold (not plated) with a classic ribbon motif. There are no gemstones in this design. Please review the photos and features, and contact us if you’d like us to confirm any aspect of the composition for this exact pair.
Q: Are they for pierced ears and how do they fasten? A: Yes—these are for pierced ears and secure with push‑back (butterfly) closures. If you prefer a different style of backs, most jewellers can supply compatible 18K replacements.
Q: What size and weight are they? Will they feel heavy? A: Our listing provides approximate measurements; if you need the precise height, width, depth and gram weight for comfort reference, just ask and we’ll measure them. Many Tiffany ribbon studs offer a noticeable yet comfortable presence for everyday wear, depending on personal sensitivity.
Q: What hallmarks or stamps should I expect on Tiffany & Co gold earrings? A: Tiffany fine jewellery typically bears the TIFFANY & CO signature and a gold purity mark such as “750” for 18K. Placement varies (often on the earring post or back). Our close‑up photos show any stamps present on this pair; the country of origin on this listing is USA.
Q: Are they suitable for sensitive ears? Is there any nickel? A: 18K yellow gold is generally alloyed with gold, silver and copper and is typically nickel‑free. Those with sensitivities should still monitor comfort; discontinue wear if irritation occurs and contact us for guidance.
Q: How should I care for 18K gold earrings? A: Keep them away from perfumes, hairspray, lotions and cleaning chemicals. After wear, gently wipe with a soft, dry microfibre cloth. For a periodic clean, use lukewarm water with a drop of mild soap, a very soft brush, rinse, and dry thoroughly. Avoid ultrasonic cleaners and harsh dips. Store individually in a pouch/box to prevent scratches.
Q: Can they be repaired, polished or serviced by Tiffany? A: A competent jeweller can replace backs, straighten posts and perform light polishing. Tiffany boutique service may be available at their discretion and can vary by location. Note that polishing removes a small amount of metal and any modification can affect originality and resale value—feel free to ask us for non‑invasive options.
Q: Which collection are these from and what does the ribbon motif signify? A: The ribbon is a timeless Tiffany design element seen across various eras, symbolising elegance and a refined, gift‑like flourish. Exact collection/year can vary by model; if you’d like us to check any archival or season details for this pair, just let us know.
Q: What condition should I expect, what is included, and can I return them? A: This pair is in Very Good Condition with gentle wear possible unless noted otherwise. Only accessories specifically shown or listed are included; this listing notes no accessories. Earrings are eligible for return under our standard policy provided they are unworn, any hygiene seals (if applied) remain intact, and they are returned in the same condition received—please see our Returns page for full details.
